"I do believe that all private schools (...) have the right to teach whatever inanity they decide"
In a way I agree, because it's kind of like free speech.
On the other hand, shouldn't a society be responsible for protecting children? Schools teach children, after all. It's different from somebody voluntarily picking a topic to learn about.
Seems to me children being taught Creationism might be seriously disadvantaged.
Then again, by what standard? For example, what if being immersed in some cult brings total happiness, even if it looks insane from the outside? Should it be disallowed to raise kids as devote cult members?
